The independent trustee of the Barclays Group (ESAS) Employees' Benefit Trust,
(the 'ESAS trust') notified Barclays PLC on 10 July 2000 that they had
provided incorrect data in an earlier notification to Barclays PLC.

had been understated by 863 ordinary shares in the Notification of Interest
made by Barclays PLC on 29 June 2000. 

The ESAS trust is a discretionary trust for the benefit of employees and

exercised their awards under the Barclays Group Performance Share Plan
('PSP').  The trust is a discretionary trust for the benefit of employees and
former employees (and their families) of Barclays Bank PLC and its
subsidiaries.  None of the above transactions were in respect of awards made
to any director of Barclays PLC.
